Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 214
After Xiang Zhuang succeeded Xiang Yu as the general of the Chu State, he began to deploy defenses in Xin'an City. However, Xin'an City, as the second largest city in Chu, had a city wall that was almost equal to the city wall of Daqin County.

In order to facilitate the evacuation here, Xiangzhuang concentrated most of its troops on the north, west, and south walls, while less than 1000 people were stationed on the east side.

However, even though Xiang Zhuang didn't think that Xin'an City could stop the Qin army, he still tried his best to arrange the city defense, and his soldiers took advantage of Xiang Zhuang's status as a general to secretly prepare items for escape.

In Jiatong City, the Qin army set off again after a two-day rest.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from sentry cavalry, we are less than twenty miles away from the army of the Marquis of Yichang," said the cavalry captain bowing.

"Okay, order the army to advance rapidly and join the army of the Marquis of Yichang"

"Here"

Under Xiao Hong's order, Qin Jun's iron cavalry accelerated their advance and caught up with Ren Xiao's army at a distance of [-] miles from Xin'an City.

"Your Majesty"

"Well, how much do you know about Xin'an City, the capital of the Chu Kingdom?" Xiao Hong asked while riding a horse side by side with Ren Xiao.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after we captured the Hongliao Mansion, after interrogating the defenders in the Hongliao Mansion, we learned that Xin'an City is the second largest city in the Chu Kingdom, and its size is about the same as that of a prefecture. I don’t know how many defenders there are, but the number should not be too many.”

"Oh, Marquis of Yichang, how did you come to the conclusion that the number of defenders in Xin'an City will not be too many?" Xiao Hongrao asked with great interest.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Fuyu Kingdom has been doing business with the Jizi Dynasty all year round. Before this Marquis led an army into the Chu Kingdom, the Fuyu Kingdom sent people to tell me everything they knew. This short period of the Jizi Dynasty For a hundred years, there has been constant friction with the Kingdom of Chen, and the two sides have fought dozens of wars, and the national power of the Jizi Dynasty has been consumed by the Kingdom of Chen little by little in these battles. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Chu would not have been so easy Occupation of the Jizi Dynasty”

"Moreover, during the process of Chu's occupation of the Jizi Dynasty, the two sides also had several wars, and their national strength was also consumed a lot. Moreover, according to the information obtained by the Fuyu Kingdom, there are 15 people in Xin'an City, the capital of the Chu Kingdom. Shang Chu State will divide its troops to garrison other cities, so Ben Hou, alas, believes that there will not be too many defenders in Xin'an City." Ren Xiao expressed his analysis.

"The Marquis of Yichang is very thoughtful, but Xin'an City is the capital of the Chu State after all, so we should not take it lightly. Although we claim to have an army of [-], iron cavalry is useless in a siege battle, and the Fuyu State soldiers who came to support us Jun also saw that their combat power is very weak, and they can hardly help, so the main force still depends on ourselves, how to attack the city, the Marquis of Yichang should think more about it." Xiao Hong glanced at the soldiers of Fuyu who followed the Qin army and said. .

"My lord, with you here, I just need to be a pioneer," Ren Xiao said modestly.

"Marquis of Yichang, your majesty's edict this time is for you to lead the Great Qin to attack the Chu State. I will only do it in times of crisis. As for the rest, it is up to you." Xiao Hong believed in Ren Xiao's talent, after all He is a famous general who conquered Baiyue, and it was not difficult for Ren Xiao to take down a small state of Chu.

"Your Majesty, this..." Ren Xiao didn't expect that Lord Wu An didn't plan to command the army.

"Marquis of Yichang, you have to be confident. As long as you can win Chu, it will be a credit for expanding the territory. Maybe you can also be promoted to the [-]th rank of Chehou in one fell swoop. This is a rare opportunity." Xiao Hong defeated After Xiang Yu, he doesn't plan to do anything, after all, he has enough military achievements now.

The two chatted like this all the way, until they arrived at the foot of Xin'an City, Xiao Hong took off with his sword and left the Qin army, hiding in the clouds to see the whole situation.

After Xiao Hong left, Ren Xiao once again took over the command of the Qin army.

Ren Xiao did not rush to attack the city, but sent people to explore around Xin'an City first, and found that Xin'an City was indeed as good as the counties and cities of Da Qin, as the prisoners said.

"come"

"General"

"Let the captains of the various ministries and the generals of Fuyu Kingdom come to my battle." Ren Xiao said looking at the crude map.

"Here"

Soon the school lieutenants from various ministries of the Qin Army and generals from the Fuyu Kingdom all came to Ren Xiao's tent.

"The troops of Fuyu Kingdom attacked the north and south of Xin'an City respectively, but your Fuyu Kingdom is an assistant, and the purpose is to hold back the defenders in the north and south of Xin'an City." The translator in the Qin Army translated Ren Xiao's words to Fuyu Kingdom generals.

"Zhang Han, Li Gan, Chongheng, Xiang Zhang, and Aoxiu are in charge of the first attack, your men in Teng Gan are in charge of manipulating the catapults, your men in Shangxiu are in charge of Jinglan and Chongche, and your men in Gong Ren are in charge of the attack." After the siege began, except for the archers who were arranged on the well, the rest of them shot arrows at Xin'an City continuously, and they had to suppress their archers to ensure that the soldiers could carry the ladders and rush to the city of Xin'an." Ren Xiao looked at the map and arranged for the first attack.

"Here, I'll take orders" Everyone bowed and took orders.

According to Ren Xiao's arrangement, the Fuyu Kingdom's 3 soldiers were divided into two groups and lined up in the north and south of Xin'an City, but they did not launch an attack.

The main force of the Qin army was responsible for attacking the west wall of Xin'an City. First of all, it was the old rule that the catapults first fired a volley to damage the morale of the Chu army.

砰

Huge boulders hit Xin'an City heavily, but because of the problem of aiming, only a few unlucky people were hit by the boulder, and the rest avoided the boulder's attack.

"Get out!" Under the cover of the catapult, Jing Lan began to move slowly towards Xin'an City, and along with Jing Lan was dispatched a rushing chariot under the guard of shield soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army has begun to attack the city." A soldier ran into the palace and said with a half-bow.

"Understood, tell the general to defend Xin'an City at all costs"

"Here" the soldier exited the hall with Xiang Liang's order.

Although the Qin army had dispatched Jinglan and Chongche, there were no archers in Xin'an City to fight back.

When Jing Lan was halfway forward, Zhang Han and the others pulled out the Qin sword from their waists and said loudly, "Charge!"

"Wind!" Qin Jun carried the ladder and launched his first charge towards Xin'an City.

"Fire the arrows!" Xiang Zhuang ordered immediately after seeing the Qin army starting to charge.

Thousands of archers of the Chu army who were hiding behind the city wall immediately stood up and shot arrows at the Qin army.

puff!
Many Qin soldiers who charged were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

"Let go!" Qin Jun's crossbow formation was ordered by the school captain, and thousands of arrows flew out of Qin Jun's formation and shot towards Chu Jun.

"Raise the shield!" Xiang Zhuang arranged two shield soldiers beside the archers. When the Qin army fought back with bows and crossbows, the shield soldiers raised their shields to block the attack.

Because of Xiangzhuang's proper arrangement, the Qin army's crossbow arrows did not cause too much damage to the Chu army, only a small number of archers were shot, and the Chu army's archers took advantage of the Qin crossbow intermittently to shoot at the charging Qin army. Time caused great casualties to the Qin army.
